First of all, hotheads such as yourself that spout but never listen, never seek to understand exactly what the other person is saying but filter everything through your own knee-jerk myopia, ALWAYS make fools of themselves. On that score I don't have a worry in the world.

But how can a man understand what that experience is like, for a woman...?

I simply disagree. I have a mother, sisters, a wife, daughters. I can very MUCH imagine what it must be like, so much so that like you (or so I assume) I would be angry enough to tear apart the man who dared do this.

Oh, but wait: According to your theory, I shouldn't have an opinion because I don't understand. As if.

By which I take it that YOU think "American casualties are a good sign."

Tell me, had you been killed in combat, would it have been a "good sign"?

You still don't understand how wrong you are.

But that's OK, because as long as you feel like you understand, right??? < /sarcasm >

The fact that you think a man would understand what a woman suffers during a rape, relegates you to nitwit status.

A truly wise man starts off with the statement, "I don't know." He tries to understand, but must eventually become aware of the fact that there are some things a man can't understand about a woman, and vice versa. A woman can't describe in any meaningful way, what sexual climax feels like for her. A man can't explain it, from his perspective. The net result, is an intrinisic lack of understanding, at a fundamental level...

If you have a wife and children, and still deny this fact of life... Then I question your mental competancy...

Something for you to think about, before you start your next factually vacuous rant... And end up looking even more foolish (though, at this point, you've already demonstrated beyond doubt that you're clueless, on this subject and thread)...

I could go further into your obvious narcissism, but that might be construed as abuse (gasp!), so I'll let you off the hook... For now.

...if I could possibly figure out a way, I'd take my old, crippled butt and join the fight in a heartbeat...

Indeed. Already tried, they told me I was too old.. Not what I wanted to hear, to say the least. And, my wife said "are you insane?" Some times she doesn't get it...

I'm surprised how much trouble the headline has generated - A book by it's cover? The first six words are relatively unimportant.

The headline is put in its context by the article - and I can't imagine someone who was disgusted by it not reading the article.

What is the problem? If you want to quibble about the headline, perhaps you could suggest a better one?

Despite more "expert" advice and handwringing from the punditocracy, we realized soon enough that the Northern Alliance was the horse to back.

Oh that turned our real well. We are now putting American lives at risk embroiled in their civil war, while their opium pipeline is flowing like a river to our high schools. And we kick in a few billion dollars for the privilge. Pure idiocy. What can you expect from the War Street Journal...

Pure idiocy.

Yep. That about sums you up. Especially after the last thread you tried (vainly) to argue about.

Don't worry, you shall be ignored, due to your demonstrated idiocy.

You are the weakest link. Good-bye!!!
